I have always loved the beauty, sweetness, and softness of daily activities. The quiet, intimate moments a woman has every day is so mysterious. Getting our coffee in the morning, sitting on our porch, reading a book, curling up watching our favorite TV show or movie, putting on our makeup, picking out an outfit, getting undressed for a shower (or better yet, a bath!), etc.

She is an amazing photographer and that definitely helped and made this a million times easier. Because when your photographer knows what she is doing she or he can get amazing photos without it feeling like work at all!

It also told of her extreme desire to love her body and how she was excited to do this session for that reason!

It wreaked of a woman that knew her worth but hasn't yet gripped how to truly believe that. Knowledge and belief are very different things.
